Anybody, or anyone of the names mention, on defense...as long as they can tackle! Ball hawk is Ok, but PLEASE let them have basic fundamental skills in TACKLING.

Tackling? Who still does THAT?!? You don't get style points for Tackling?!?

So far it looks like a vote of no confidence in Charlie Brown, Zach Strief, Brian de la Puente and Curtis Lofton...

Really surprised to see Outside Linebacker not receiving more votes...

Center Prospects

C Tyler Larson, Utah State, 6-4/312 (R2,3)
C Weston Richburg, Colorado State, 6-4/300 (R2,3)
C Gabe Ikard, Oklahoma, 6-3/298 (R3,4)
C Zac Kerin, Toledo, 6-5/300 (R4,5)

Two Guards who could start at Center for us...

G Gabe Jackson, Mississippi State, 6-3/340 (R3,4)
G Jon Halapio, Florida, 6-3/320 (R4,5)

How do you figure that? You didn't put RT in your poll.

We also have L/R ILB so how Lofton is identified is not clear to me. I also do not have a whole lot of faith that voters know the difference between ILB and OLD in regards to our depth chart.

We have 5 R/L ILBs.

And not to nit-pick the poll, but every LB in a 3-4 is different.
The Jack backer has a different skillset than the SOLB, and the WILB has a different skillset than the SILB.

Same with SS and FS.

Same with LT and RT.

we need size, speed and cover skills in the LB corp as a whole

OT the entire depth chart needs to be addressed seeing almost all are FA this year
